<p>UCLA is my number one choice now.
I have weighted UC GPA of 4.54 if I include summer community college courses. I got almost straight A's in my soph and junior year(received one B in Biology AP) but 3 B's in my freshman year. Do UC's look at freshman year grades because they dont seem to use it to calculate the GPA.</p>

<p>What I am really worried about are my SAT scores. I did pretty shoddy on the SATS. My best score at one sitting is 2010 ( 680 CR, 690M, 640W) and my second best score is 2000 (630CR, 720M, 650W). Yeah i am not too proud of my writing score and i am afraid that is where i will fail to get accepted. My SAT II scores are : 790Korean, 700 Math IIC so theyre not that bad.</p>

<p>My ECS are :
Kiwin's:9-11 Publicity chairman in 10th grade
School Service Club: 9-12 (Historian in 10th, Club Representative in 11th, Currently 2nd Captain)
Japanese Culture Club: 9-11
Vietnamese CC: 10-12
Academic Decathlon:11
California Scholarship Federation: 10-12
National Honors Society: 11-12
School's stage band:10-12
School's marching band: 11-12 (Flute Section Leader, Assistant Woodwind Captain, Band Council's Treasurer all in 12th)
Hospital volunteering: 10-12 (150 Hours)</p>

<p>Can you give me an honest evaluation of my chances of gettin into UCLA or maybe Berkeley as a biochem major?</p>

<p>don't think it's possible to get a UC gpa (capped at 8 semesters honors/ap) of 4.54, unless you take like 4 classes a year, which i doubt. and i think you have a good chance of getting in, assuming that your GPA is still above 4.0 after it's capped at 8 sem.</p>

<p>the UCs also dont look at freshmen grades, no worries! :D</p>

<p>likedaasses@ucla - flopsy is only giving a more conservative guess on whether the OP has a chance or not, no need to bash on a guy that replies to EVERY UC chances thread. ^_^! and we all appreciate flopsy's effort.</p>

<p>Flopsy is probably one of the most helpful posters on this forum. You, on the other hand, are a troll.</p>

<p>monkeyavenger,</p>

<p>Your first post is kinda funny. I thought for a minute that you were simultaneously a male and a single mother.</p>

<p>Boy, did that throw me for a loop.</p>

<p>likedaasses@ucla,
are you kidding me. You post is absolutely ridiculous. Without Flopsy a lot of people here would have been screwed big time. Yeah, you are a troll.</p>
